Princess Anne wants to go on Strictly Come Dancing, according to one of the show’s dancers.
Nadiya Bychkova said the Princess Royal told her last month that she would like to appear in the popular TV dance competition.
Bychkova has claimed that Princess Anne, 73, told her “at a ballet event” that she would like to join the cast.
The dancer said: “She is a Strictly fan, and she wants to go on the show – she told me.

“She did say that. I think she would be good – there’s a lot of personality there, isn’t there?”
It comes after Queen Camilla said she was “one of Strictly’s greatest fans” after pro-dancer Johannes Radebe presented her with a pair of steel-shod shoes at an event in February.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was also a fan, as is Princess Kate.
Queen Camilla once even offered to host an episode of the programme at Buckingham Palace.

Speaking on the Royal Family’s love for Strictly, Bychkova continued to tell The Sun: “They love it, and they watch it all the time.
“Whenever you see royals at events, they all know what’s going on.”
Bychkova, 34, who was born in Soviet Ukraine, added: “I’m not from this country so I don’t know all the royal etiquette, but you learn through situations, and I just try to be (as) respectful as I can when I meet the royals.
“It just blows your mind to think how big this show is.”

Bychkova insinuated she would put a good word in for Princess Anne to the show’s bosses.
She claimed: “We get that privilege, and because of the show, we end up in circles with celebrities who love Strictly.
“So whenever we speak with the producers I say, ‘What about this person?, or, ‘What about that person?’”
This year will mark 20 years since the first series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004.
